Spatial Transcriptomics and Single Cell-RNASeq Reveals Cellular Heterogeneity of SARS-CoV-2 in Lung Tissues and Global Mutational Patterns in COVID-19 Patients. [PDF]
ABSTRACT RNA viruses have high mutation frequency, quick generation periods and vast population numbers, which promote fast evolution and host environment adaptation. We integrated scRNA‐seq and spatial transcriptomics to profile immune cells and viral gene expression in COVID‐19.

Looking for pathways related to COVID-19: confirmation of pathogenic mechanisms by SARS-CoV-2-host interactome [PDF]
In the last months, many studies have clearly described several mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection at cell and tissue level, but the mechanisms of interaction between host and SARS-CoV-2, determining the grade of COVID-19 severity, are still unknown.

A recent origin of Orf3a from M protein across the coronavirus lineage arising by sharp divergence
The genome of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic, encodes a number of accessory genes. The longest accessory gene, Orf3a, plays important roles in the virus lifecycle indicated by experimental findings, known polymorphisms,

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus protein 7a interacts with hSGT [PDF]
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) 7a is an accessory protein with no known homologues. In this study, we report the interaction of a SARS-CoV 7a and small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat-containing protein (SGT).

High-precision and cost-efficient sequencing for real-time COVID-19 surveillance. [PDF]
COVID-19 global cases have climbed to more than 33 million, with over a million total deaths, as of September, 2020. Real-time massive SARS-CoV-2 whole genome sequencing is key to tracking chains of transmission and estimating the origin of disease ...

Endomembrane Systems are Reorganized by ORF3a and Membrane (M) of SARS-CoV-2 [PDF]
SummaryThe endomembrane reticulum (ER) is largely reorganized by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a and membrane (M) protein expression affects ER-derived structures including cubic membrane and double membrane vesicles in coronavirus-infected cells; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying ER remodeling ...

Comparative in vivo analysis of recombinant type II feline coronaviruses with truncated and completed ORF3 region. [PDF]
Our previous in vitro comparative study on a feline coronavirus (FCoV) pair, differing only in the intactness of their ORF3abc regions, showed that the truncated ORF3abc plays an important role in the efficient macrophage/monocyte tropism of type II ...
